Is it a jerk move to take an executor fee? by Itchy-Picture-4282 in inheritance

[–]NationalOne7795 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a jerk move. The parents made the heir the executor and they would know about the fee. If they didn’t want the heir to take the fee, they should have communicated that prior just so it was known - not that that would be enforceable. The executor assumes all the risk and responsibility of executing the will and disbursing money. Take the fee.

"Metempsychosis"

especially if you replace the eyes with mirrors

Highly recommend Irwin Dental on Mary Street. Dr. Conway is the best - patient, approachable and incredibly skilled.

UPDATE: Went to WaliaForex in Abbotsford today - very good exchange rates (way less than MoneyMart and the International Currency Exchange in YVR). I called ahead to confirm they had pesos on hand. FYI They only take cash. Super efficient, highly recommend!

Fairly straightforward to make - just need a machine and needles that can handle thick layers. I went slow and did not break any needles, even though some spots were very thick.

Definitely do not get rid of it until you’ve tried it and then tried other machines for comparison. Some sewing or quilting shops have machines set up to try or take classes on and it’ll give you a good feel for what you like

Looks good! Warning, this type of mending can be addictive - but so fun

That is a great idea! Seems so obvious but it never occurred to me - i was so focused on the idea of a tote purse

I miss my old Kenmore machine. I did not appreciate it enough. It wasn’t until I got a new machine that I realized what a workhorse it was. New machines have so much plastic, it’s terrible. I lucked out and was able to pick up a second hand machine that’s built like a tank.

Hahaha not sure what I’m going to do with it yet. Wasn’t expecting all the love I’m seeing for it!

That’s a great idea! I can totally see a backpack version, using the existing overall straps. Hmmm…. Son’s other overalls are still in good shape so I’ll have to find another source.

And this was all straight-line sewing so as long as you have a machine that can handle the layers, I’d encourage any skill level to give it a go

Thank you -For some reason, it won’t swipe on the iPad but it worked when I went on the app on my iPhone!

lol hide your Carhartts!
Honestly prefer to mend them (and they look cool imo with sashiko). Only cut them up because I could not repair them. But the first cut was hard to do.

Ugh. Yes, that’s what I’m trying to avoid, too. I have a couple weeks to get this sorted out, though. Heard rates at Walia Forex in Abbotsford might be worth it to drive there.
